To find the coefficient of the z-variable in the third equation of the given augmented matrix, we need to interpret the matrix correctly.
The augmented matrix you provided is:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
2 & -1 & 5 & -3 & 1 \\
-2 & 4 & -3 & -3 & 17
\end{bmatrix}
\]
In standard form, an augmented matrix for a system of linear equations is represented as follows:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & b_1 \\
a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & b_2 \\
a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} & b_3
\end{bmatrix}
\]
where \(a_{ij}\) represents the coefficients for the variables in the equations, and \(b_i\) represents the constants of the equations on the right-hand side.
However, in your provided matrix, I can see that you have shown two rows, implying you only provided part of the original matrix or that it is in a different format. Generally, for a matrix representing three variables (such as x, y, z) in a system of three equations, it should have at least three rows.
The coefficient of z in the augmented matrix would be the entry in the third column of the third row. Since you provided only two rows, I can only extract the information from those rows.
Given the first row has coefficients, we can summarize:
- **For row 1:**
- Coefficient of \(x\) = 2
- Coefficient of \(y\) = -1
- Coefficient of \(z\) = 5
- **For row 2:**
- Coefficient of \(x\) = -2
- Coefficient of \(y\) = 4
- Coefficient of \(z\) = -3
Since there is no third row provided, we cannot find the coefficient of z in the third equation. If you can provide the third row of the augmented matrix, I can help you find the coefficient of the z-variable in that equation. If there is additional context or information that can assist in clarifying, please provide that as well.
